Chapter 139 Intense Battle (2/2)
As soon as Gao Peng opened his mouth, Dumby let out a roar. Planting its right foot vigorously on the ground, it turned its body 180 degrees and placed Gao Peng down on the ground with his left hand. Then, Dumby charged towards the Dream Stick Insect like a high-horsepower racecar. Each step covered dozens of feet, and a gust of wind was created from its charge, sweeping up a giant wave of leaves right behind Dumby.
”Its abdomen has a white spot the size of a grain of rice. That is its weak spot.” Although he knew it was hard to find, Gao Peng still informed Dumby and the rest of his familiars about this weak spot through their Blood Contract.
Dumby raised its left hand high in the air. Its five white bone fingers opened and then clenched into a fist, a signal of determination!
Floating above Gao Peng's shoulder, Silly also raised two of its tentacles, curling the ends into balls, just like two little clenched fists.
Dumby's heart thundered within its chest cavity, beating madly!!!
Dumby seemed to have totally unleashed its savage nature. Leaping high into the air, a fist with overwhelming power came crashing down on the Dream Stick Insect.
The Dream Stick Insect let out a low screech and raised a bamboo-like limb that shot out upward.
Ssssuuuuu——
The long limb went into the middle of Dumby's empty body and straight out the other end.
The Dream Stick Insect was stunned. Before it even had the chance to react, out of the sky came a fist the size of a sandbag!
Boom!!!
The fist struck a blow that left the Dream Stick Insect seeing stars. It stumbled, almost falling over.
The dazed Dream Stick Insect raised its limb. Although it had passed through Dumby's empty chest cavity, the limb was like a wooden skewer sticking through Dumby's body. As it was raised, Dumby could also be raised along with it. This discovery excited the Dream Stick Insect.
It flung its limb outward in an attempt to fling Dumby away.
But it had underestimated Dumby's weight. The move did nothing to shake Dumby off. It simply stayed firmly where it stood.
Bang!
With a left uppercut, Dumby landed another blow on the Dream Stick Insect's head.
The stick insect was stunned. Its mouthpiece opened, giving a furious hiss. It spun around madly on the spot, each of its limbs wildly stabbing outward. One by one, large tree trunks were being pierced through, sending a tornado of wooden debris flying into the air.
Gao Peng had not expected the battle to develop in this manner. It was rather dramatic.
It seemed as though Dumby was a natural counter to the Dream Stick Insect, not in terms of attributes, but in terms of monster type. The Dream Stick Insect's main method of attack was to use its extendable, spear-like limbs to impale enemies. But against a monster like Dumby with no flesh and blood, it would have a hard time.
”Go Dumby! You counter it! You can beat it!” Gao Peng encouraged Dumby from the bottom of his heart.
For some strange reason, Dumby felt a chill run down its spine. Its bones were rattling with a ”clack clack clack” sound.
It was most likely that the Dream Stick Insect had never encountered an opponent with such an unreasonable body constitution before. But it quickly recovered its composure. It shot its free limbs at Dumby's head, ignoring Dumby's torso this time. It seemed to have realized that attacking that area of a skeleton like Dumby dealt little damage.
Although Dumby tried its best to evade, one of the limbs struck its head, making a small cavity on its tough skull. Small cracks began to spread out like a web from the damaged area.
But Da Zi had already taken the opportunity to charge forward, leaping straight at the Dream Stick Insect's abdomen, sneakily trying to find the white spot that Gao Peng had informed them of.
